Natural / Organic Beekeeping

• Using “natural” or “organic” beekeeping as an excuse to neglect scientific control of disease and pest problems causes harm to other beekeepers -- both hobbyist and commercial
• Being “natural” or “organic” feels nice, but it will not protect your bees
• Bees kept “naturally” will die a natural death within 2-3 years – most commonly due to parasites
